Aaron Gordon answered the call for the Nuggets in Oklahoma City, just as he’s always done
Aaron Gordon is Denver’s hero who doesn’t reach for the cape. It just keeps finding him.

#Avs end-of-season press conference tomorrow will include Chris MacFarland and Joe Sakic.

Avs don't do the traditional locker room clean-out day media with a bunch of players/coach/GM. Last year, it was MacFarland and Gabe Landeskog (because he hadn't played/talked all season).

Update: The Dallas Stars are the favorite to win the Stanley Cup this morning at FanDuel.
This is the 17th Game 7 for me, but the first since Chicago-Anaheim in 2015.

There’s really nothing else like it. The losers of the last game at the Olympics get medals.

One of these teams is probably the favorite to win the Stanley Cup tomorrow morning. The other is done.

If it's possible for Nikola Jokic to play 49 minutes in a game, the Nuggets should do it.
April 19, 2025 at 8:28 PM
Great steal there, but it's otherwise been a house of horrors for the Nuggets defense so far.

Way, way, way too many free drives down the lane.
April 19, 2025 at 8:07 PM
This is a high-stakes postseason for the Nuggets.

It's not just one more year of Prime Jokic on the line. It could be the Denver tenures of several critical players.

Is Aaron Gordon one of them?
